“\"Located in Phoenix, Arizona RESCUE is the last voice for dogs and cats who, through no fault of their own, find themselves awaiting death at our county pounds. Since our inception in 1995 we have operated with the philosophy that for every animal we place we will be back to rescue another facing an untimely death. To date, we have fulfilled that promise well over 8,000 times.
While all of the cats and dogs you are about to see have stayed at the Maricopa County pounds, they are now safe in our care and away from the threat of euthanasia. These amazingly resilient and wonderful beings reside in the homes of our dedicated foster parents or with our boarding partners until their permanent home is located."”

RESCUE Lives Up to Its Name

As close to a sanctuary as one can find in AZ, RESCUE keeps animals in their care until a home is found. Period. Euthanasia rarely occurs and some cats have been at RESCUE for years. Their animals are rescued from the pound and their emphasis on making good matches is nearly unparalleled. This is one of Phoenix's smaller shelter groups, but well worth a visit and your support.
